That equine discount is not being honored 100%, at least in my area.Equine discount had been 20% off MSRP price for the last few years that I know of
That included cash buyers,
and standard rate finance buyers.
I bought 2 tractors, and an RTV using it.
RTV was only 15% off I think.
Dealers around me were usually making cash deals around 15% off MSRP on tractors without using the equine discount
Equine changed this year, and isn’t nearly the deal it was.

They list an increased MSRP and then apply the "Equine" discount.
The tractor-buying experience is becoming worse than buying a car.
Just my guess... It's to penetrate the market for compact tractors. Homeowners are the market for subcompacts. Horse people need a larger machine with a FEL. Then when the horse person gets an even larger acreage, they move to utility sized machines. I started small with one brand and kept the same brand through multiple machines getting larger each time.Out of curiosity, why do equine folks get such a huge discount ?
If they can discount products for them, and still make a profit, why not do it for everyone ?
Thanks for the info, but why do only the equine folks get the 20% discount ? Why don,t they give it to everyone ?
